Bullitt (1968)
The best car chase of all time
Today I watched this movie for I can't remember how many times. But I asked my 13 year old son to watch the movie and of course I wanted him to see the wonderful Steve McQueen and the amazing chase scene in the streets of San Francisco. What I like about this movie is the almost docudrama style of the film. People slip and fall and yet the film still keeps rolling, the folks on the street may have been extras but they sure didn't appear to be. And then of course there is the wonderful cast: the amazing Steve McQueen, the handsome and slippery Robert Vaughan, and the underrated Normal Fell. But Steve is in the film so the romantic lead is the ever beautiful Jackie Bisset. The story is a great police mystery and of course the amazing Steve with his custom built, five speed mustang giving the bad guys a real run for their money. This is the first of the car chase genre and by far the best. Like I told my son, Steve loved cars, he raced cars and this was the best of the best. Not to be missed.
The Black Room (1935)
Best Karloff Movie of all time
I love Boris and in this movie he shines as the set of twins. I saw it for the first time last year. I recorded it and have watched it numerous times since. If you are his fan...this movie can not be missed. All the supporting actors are wonderful as well, and the beautiful Marion Marsh easy on the eyes. I knew Karloff was an under rated actor...But this movie proves it. Why more fuss was never made about this film, I just don't know. I will tell you I never saw the out come of this movie coming. Or maybe I just didn't want to spoil the shock for myself. Thank goodness for Halloween movies and TCM's airing of them or I would have caught this flick. Enjoy it, I know you will.
